Bradley Fighting Vehicle
"A troop transport that can't carry troops, a reconnaissance vehicle that's too conspicuous to do reconnaissance..."
"And a quasi-tank that has less armor than a snowblower, but has enough ammo to take out half of DC."
- – The Pentagon Wars
The quintessential Infantry Fighting Vehicle. If you watched the movie Pentagon Wars starring Cary Elwes or played any sort of FPS or a wargame set during the modern era. You would already know what it is. The Bradley Fighting Vehicle was created in response to the Soviet Union's BMPs.

As mentioned before the Bradley was a subject of a the documentary Pentagon Wars. This is because unlike the vehicle currently in service. It was a poorly armored POS. While it the film took some creative liberties with Colonel Burton's rank. It showed that unlike today that is was inferior piece of junk that had no place on the battlefield. Redesigned just in time for the Gulf War when Iraq invaded Kuwait. The Bradley is currently armed with a M242 Chaingun. TOW missiles and a M240 Machine Gun. The TOW missiles being the biggest threat.
During Operation Desert Storm. Bradley's killed more Iraqi Soviet Tanks and AMVs than the M1 Abrams. Most losses came from friendly fire incidents. AS IFF systems weren't a thing until the early 2000's. While the Bradley remains a beast that can back up or substitute for Abrams in both anti tank and urban warfare. Due to the changing face of warfare with the proliferation of Anti-Tank missiles and Improvised explosive devices. So as a vehicle designed for the Cold War it didn't do so well during the Iraq War of 2003-2011. The US Army losing 150 vehicles and around 700 hundred damaged. The Army used the MRAPS after 2007. While the Bradley had to upgraded with the Urban Survival Kit.
The Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle is a updated version of the Bradley that will replace the M113. Causing mindless fanboys like Mike Sparks to have autistic rage. The AMPV is a bit larger than the original. With at least seventy percent of the vehicle being new. Like the F-18 Super Hornet compared to the old Hornet. AMPV's can be fitted with a 30mm drone turret with tubes for Javelin Missiles. So now pretty anything that can be put on top of a Stryker can also also be used by the AMPV. Making sure the Bradley's descendants will serve long after the 2050's.
